Police said a warrant on charges of assault and wanton endangerment for 23-year-old Jasmin Osmanovic was issued Tuesday morning.

"The fact of good police work along with some tips we received allowed us to put enough information together and enough evidence together that the judge saw it fit to put out the arrest warrant," said police spokesman Dwight Mitchell.

Osmanovic is described as having brown hair and brown eyes and is 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.

Police said he was driving a silver four-door 2006 Nissan Altima driving on a spare tire on the front.

The shooting happened Saturday afternoon. A man heard a loud pop as he was driving on the Snyder near the Smyrna exit.

He quickly realized he'd been shot and pulled into the emergency lane until police arrived.

Two young children in the car were unhurt.

Police on foot and in the air combed the area over the next couple of days looking for evidence.

They said evidence eventually led them to Osmanovic, who they believe pulled the trigger.

Police won't elaborate on the evidence, and the motive is still unclear.

"We feel like there's no evidence at this point to believe it was a sniper situation. It appears to be random. But until we find this individual, interview him, talk with him, (only then) will we know what his motives were," Mitchell said.

The crime left many in the neighborhoods nearby on edge.

"It makes me worried for everyone. I have friends and neighbors all around here. We have relatives nearby here. It's just too close to home," said Dennis Priddy, who lives nearby.

While urging caution, police said they don't expect a repeat.

"Nothing had happened there prior to Saturday. Nothing has happened there since," Mitchell said. "We're just urging people to be cautious as they've always been. And feel free to go down the highway as they have been doing."

Anyone with information about Osmanovic's whereabouts is asked to call Metro Police at 574-LMPD.
